Liberty to Choose


... brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; ONLY USE NOT LIBERTY FOR AN OCCASION TO THE FLESH, but by love serve one another.
- Galatians 5:13

God has given man free will, that's the liberty to make our own decisions and be guided by his Word, if we choose to hearken.
Many don't want to be reprimanded when they wonder off-course, as a result, surrounds themselves with vises to suppress their conscience.

James 1:15 says, 
"... when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
When a man is stepping off God's Agenda for one's life, there is always a quickening trying to caution him about such steps. Well, that is all God is going to do, caution us, since He has us the Will to choose. He is not going to force himself on anyone. But if we heed to his leading, he will always be there to lead us continually.

On the other hand, Satan does not seek to lead man, his agenda is to drive man, once Satan have that first opportunity into the individual, he then put mechanisms in place to enable him control every aspect of the individual; it will happen simply because the individual gave Satan an opening in the first place.
Satan will always present things that are appealing to the eyes and flesh for temporal pleasure but it seem everlasting, it's not, and will never let you in on what it will cost you in return. Once you fall for it, the rest is agony and death, it has always been his ultimate aim.
God has given man liberty, don't use the liberty you've been given, as an occasion to service your fleshly desire, the end result is always destructive.

Jesus is Lord!

Mark E. Airononi

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...
